Review of Be Our Guest - Counter Service Breakfast

We were using the quick dining plan for this restaurant, so we got value from using our credits at this pricey breakfast. We enjoyed it so much we went back the next day! Breakfast is ordered at a kiosk and then you can choose your table from one of three rooms. The ball room is beautiful but noisy. The west wing is awesome but a little dark and crowded. We ate in the "music box room" both days as it was a bit quieter and less crowded (good choice if you are traveling with people with sensory issues). Husband and I enjoyed our open faced poached egg sandwich. The poached egg was a bit over done, but flavors of the croissant and bacon were wonderful. It was nice to have a counter service with real flat ware and dishes. It's a busy place, but we enjoyed it.

While the Villas at GF are not my home resort, I was lucky enough to get a reservation in June and July for a studio. I've always wanted to stay there and am glad I finally did.
I stayed in both a standard studio(one night) and a lake view studio(7 nights). I loved the décor, but having to walk to the main building for everything(monorail, food, refillable mug) got to be annoying almost immediately. I normally stay at BLT, so I'm used to the walk to the Contemporary for services, but this walk just seemed longer. I also didn't like that there was very little storage for clothes in the units. Because the trundle bed is now under the TV, you are limited to putting your clothes on a shelf in the closet instead of having drawers to put them in. The big difference I noted in the two rooms was that the standard room only had one bathroom where the lake view room had a split bath with the tub & toilet on one side and the sink and shower on the other. The two halves were separated by pocket doors. However, I think the best part about staying at GF is that you're only one monorail stop from the MK.
Despite the small inconveniences, I loved my stay at GF. You will get your exercise staying there, so come prepared!

This was our first time dining here and we cannot wait to return. We were so lucky to be seated at the window, although it looked like you would have a great view no matter where you sat.
I am still dreaming about the steak I had and everyone else loved their food. Watching the fireworks while enjoying your dessert was such an awesome and unique experience with the music being piped in.
It was very pricey, but well worth the splurge for the very unique and memorable experience. Would love to do it again someday.

We had eaten here before and were looking forward to coming back and bringing some folks who had not eaten here before. We had such an awesome experience the last time, but this time, it was a little bit of a let down. The food was good, but not really for the price paid. My son ordered scallops and hated them and the waitress did nothing about it. The whole ordering process with him and what was delivered was just not up to par with our last visit (he has celiac). Our waitress was nice, but not very good. We may return someday, but with so many other great choices, it may be a very long time.

We had been here before with a less than stellar experience with the food. My son loves the Jungle Cruise, so we returned despite that. I am so glad we did. We made different food choices this time and everything was amazing. Our waitress was very nice if not in on the whole corny joke thing. We really enjoyed the meal and can't wait to go back.

This is a place we always try to get to when we are in WDW. This time our experience was not pleasant. My sons options for gluten free had been small in the past, but this time they were almost non existent, but worse, the manager seemed pretty clueless about the whole thing. His food came out right away and our pizza took FOREVER. This would have been OK if someone had told us there would be a significant delay, but nobody did and we could not flag down our waitress. When the pizza arrived was when we were told they were behind with the pizza orders. I don't get it at all. Think this fell of the must do list for our trips.

Love this place. Another really good option where you get a lot of good food. Go for a late breakfast or early lunch and you will not be hungry until dinner time. The character experience this time was not as great as we have had in the past, but still good. You often see them multiple times. If you have children, I highly recommend taking them here.

We go here every time we visit WDW for a reason. The food never, ever disappoints. Always a delicious meal and the show that goes with it is awesome. We will be back!

We dined here on August 13 to celebrate my birthday. Our waiter, Sebastian, was wonderful helping us with our wine choice and offering food
suggestions. My sister and I opted for the prix fixe meal and my niece opted for an entree while sharing our appetizers and desserts. We love the bread here and the lobster bisque and salad were delicious. Everyone was pleased with their beef, chicken and salmon. The French desserts can't be beat. The prix fixe option is a great way to experience an authentic French meal and save a few dollars. And if you are lucky enough to have Sebastian as your waiter, you will be well taken care of. Chefs de France is one of our favorite restaurants.

My sister raved about this restaurant after her last WDW visit so I asked if we could eat here during my birthday celebration weekend. So on August 15
we had dinner here. The restaurant was beautiful-the mural and glass objects are so colorful. We started with $5 margaritas and they were scrumptious! We had chips with guacamole and two other salsas. The chips were delicious-I ate them plain after trying the sauces. My chicken enchiladas were good but a little to "hot" for me.
My sister and niece opted for chicken flauntas and
really enjoyed them. I will dine here again but
I'll choose a different entree. But it will be a Monday for those $5 margaritas!
